Chapter 587: The Best Years

At the same time that Li Qinzai led the army to re-enter Tuguhun, Chang'an City galloped out on a fast horse.

Tubo entered Kou Tuguhun, Nuo Hao Bo Khan and his wife fled to the Tang Dynasty Ganzhou, the Tang Dynasty Emperor was invited by Nuo Hao Bo Khan, Xing Wang Shi, cut down the unjust, spread the world, and the righteous teacher begged.

Su Dingfang's army had not yet arrived in Liangzhou, and the fast horses sent by Chang'an City had already sent the text to the world.

Bringing plenty of dry food and drinking water, Li Qinzai led his troops to leave the Assassin's Mansion, and more than 5,000 soldiers and horses walked towards the city gate.

Although the two-day rest could not eliminate the fatigue of the soldiers, everyone's morale was very high.

A few days ago, Li Qinzai led his troops to fight guerrilla warfare in Tuyuhun, and the tactics of avoiding strong people and attacking when weak allowed everyone to take advantage of them, and it can be said that they basically fought a battle with the wind.

Li Qinzai achieved the goal of containing the enemy, and the soldiers also got a lot of booty, Li Qinzai had already promised that the spoils captured after the war would not be taken, and all the soldiers would be returned.

Such an incentive method, coupled with the fact that Li Qinzai led the troops really had a very good set, and there was a little human touch in the strictness, he ate and lived with the soldiers, talked and laughed, and never put on a show of the powerful, and soon won the recognition of the soldiers, and the morale was naturally high.

Led his troops to the city gate, Li Qinzai was about to leave the city, but saw that today's city gate was a little congested.

Hundreds of people carried burdens, led the elderly, wives and children, and walked towards the city gate, and the flow of people caused congestion at the city gate.

Li Qinzai did not compete with the people, and ordered the soldiers to dismount and stand by, so that the people could pass first.

Seeing the crowd being blocked at the gate of the city and slowly walking out, Liu Asi said curiously: "Is it a festival today?" Or is there some major event outside the city? Why are so many people leaving the city? ”

Li Qinzai rode on a horse, quietly looked at the luggage of the people, and sighed: "They seem to have deserted with their families......

Liu Asi was surprised: "This place is in the territory of Datang, where did the military disaster come from?" ”

Li Qinzai shook his head: "Shanzhou is one hundred and ten miles away from the Tuyuhun border, and now that the Tang Dynasty has turned against Tubo, do you dare to guarantee that Tubo will not come to attack Shanzhou?" ”

Liu Asi sneered, from his birth to the present, the Tang Dynasty has always been majestic, since Zhenguan destroyed the Turks in four years, basically no one dared to take the initiative to attack the city of the Tang Dynasty.

Liu Asi was stunned for a moment and said, "This ...... There's no need to be in such a hurry, isn't there still us? Wu Shaolang and our robes are born and fought to the death, isn't it to ensure the peace of the people, and we haven't died in battle......"

"Under the chaos of war and war, the people have no ability to protect themselves, you can't blame them for seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, comparing their hearts to their hearts, if you and I are unarmed ordinary people, in this situation, do you have the courage not to run?"

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a child's cry not far away.

Li Qinzai looked up and saw a six or seven-year-old boy in ragged and dirty clothes standing helplessly in the chaotic crowd, wiping tears and looking around in horror.

The crowd surged, knocking the child to the ground from time to time, and the child had to retreat, but his expression became more and more desperate, and the crying became more and more heartbreaking.

Li Qinzai hurriedly dismounted, walked in front of the child, didn't think he was dirty, picked him up, raised his sleeve to wipe his tears, and subconsciously touched it in his arms, but didn't touch anything, so he turned his head to look at Liu Asi.

"Get something to eat."

Liu Asi took out a palm-sized piece of jerky from his arms, Li Qinzai stuffed it into the child's hand, the child's crying gradually stopped, and he looked at Li Qinzai timidly holding the jerky.

Li Qinzai smiled and said, "Are you lost with your family?" ”

The child nodded, and his little mouth was deflated and he wanted to cry again: "Daddy...... It's gone. ”

Li Qinzai smiled: "Don't cry, let's wait, your father and mother must be looking for you in a hurry." ”

The child nodded, crying and taking a bite of jerky.

Li Qinzai touched his head and sighed.

Buckwheat is about the same age as him, and if he hadn't been found at the beginning, I'm afraid his life would not be much better than this child.

The young and the young, the father, when he sees other people's children, he can't help but feel sorry, especially in today's war-torn environment, a child who is lost with his loved ones is even more distressing.

Although the child is a little dirty, his upbringing seems to be good, and seeing that Li Qinzai has an extraordinary bearing, he said cautiously: "This nobleman, my father and mother are busy going out of the city, is there a bad person coming?" ”

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "There are bad guys, but they don't necessarily come, I just help everyone to fight the bad guys, and he doesn't dare to come." ”

"We have not sinned against the wicked, so why do the wicked come to us?"

"So they are 'bad people', and a person's badness doesn't need a reason."

The child nodded: "They are really too bad, the nobles must beat them away!" ”

Li Qinzai laughed: "Okay, I will definitely beat them away, so that they don't dare to harm people from now on......"

The child smiled happily, with tears still hanging on his face, but when he thought that he had been separated from his parents, tears immediately filled his eyes, and he was about to cry again.

Li Qinzai had to try his best to comfort him, took out the number of ways to coax Qiao'er, and after coaxing for a long time, the child smiled again.

There was an anxious cry in the distance, accompanied by the woman's heart-rending cry.

When the child heard this, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Dad, mother, I'm here!" ”

A middle-aged couple dressed in tatters followed the sound and cried with joy when they saw the child, reaching out to carry the child from Li Qinzai's arms.

Without saying a word, the middle-aged man first slapped the child's ass a few times, and said angrily: "Tell you to run around!" Tell you to run around! Don't you die? ”

The child did not cry when he was beaten, and the joy of reuniting with his father and mother offset the pain, but he grinned.

Seeing the family of three reunited, Li Qinzai also breathed a sigh of relief.

A rare and warm picture in troubled times, he really can't bear to destroy it.

After a long time, the middle-aged man saw Li Qinzai standing with a smile on the side, and saw Li Qinzai wearing armor and helmets, white and handsome, obviously a powerful figure in the army, and the middle-aged man hurriedly saluted and thanked him.

Li Qinzai helped him up and said, "Don't be polite, it's just a gesture." What are you ...... Fleeing from the city? ”

The middle-aged man nodded: "I heard that the Tubo army is not far from the border of the Tang Dynasty, and Shanzhou is only 100 miles away from the border. ”

Li Qinzai said understandingly: "Try to go east, Lanzhou, or farther Yuanzhou, where it is safer than here, but you will suffer on the road, and the child ......is pitiful."

The middle-aged man did not have the despondent and negative state of fleeing, but smiled: "Don't be pitiful, let him see the natural disasters of the army at a small age, save more experience, and if he encounters such chaos again when he grows up in the future, he will know how to protect himself." ”

Li Qinzai glanced at the child, and the child looked at the adults talking in ignorance, and his innocent appearance was sad.

At this time, human beings, in fact, are the same as animals in the jungle, adults take children, teach them how to hunt, how to avoid danger, how to protect themselves, in the chaotic environment, generation after generation grow up and reproduce.

Such a day is something that a child born in a peaceful environment cannot empathize with for the rest of his life.

"I promise, this is the last time you flee in this life, the Tang Dynasty is coming, the chaos in the northwest can be determined, when our territory extends thousands of miles to the west, Shanzhou City will no longer be a border city, and there will be no invincible attacks from now on, at least you and your children should not see each other in this life." Li Qinzai looked at the middle-aged man's eyes and said.

The middle-aged man said happily: "That's good, the Tang Dynasty is strong, and our people have enough confidence, that's right, we should clean up the Tubo thieves like we beat the Turks back then, and it is best to destroy the Tubo as well, we don't need neighbors around the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Li Qinzai also smiled: "Yes, we work hard to destroy all the neighbors, and Datang will be completely safe without its neighbors." ”

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said, "Is our master really coming soon?" ”

"It's coming, it's only about ten days."

The middle-aged man stomped his feet and said, "Don't go!" Wang Shi is here, what is the difficulty of escaping, not enough money to toss, how much food is wasted on the road, and people in other places are not used to life, so they don't leave! ”

The woman next to her obviously regarded her husband as her god, and when she saw that her husband said that she would not leave, she did not dare to persuade her, so she silently gathered her luggage.

Li Qinzai opened his mouth, trying to persuade him to leave for the time being, because he was not sure if Lu Dongzan would suddenly decide to attack the city of the Tang Dynasty.

However, seeing the man's resolute expression, Li Qinzai sighed.

Well, just like the fans who chased stars in their previous lives, I will guard your smiles.

The middle-aged man not only did not leave by himself, but also shouted at many people to stay together, and under the instigation of the man, many people actually turned around and returned to the city.

Li Qinzai was inexplicably moved.

The hearts of the people in this era are really simple, and the people's trust in the Tang Army is also incomparable.

It's a bit messy, it's a little poor, but it's the best of times.
